The GBEP Clearing House on GHG methodologies for lifecycle analysis of bioenergy

This tool has been developed as a platform to exchange information on the implementation and testing of the GBEP “common methodological framework for GHG lifecycle analysis of bioenergy” and to allow users to share documents and studies as well as to learn from other users’ experience.

The GBEP common methodological framework for GHG lifecycle analysis of bioenergy is a flexible “checklist” designed to provide a reference of pertinent questions for countries and institutions to compare the various existing methodologies dedicated to assessing GHG emissions of bioenergy systems in a transparent way. This in turn will indicate where discrepancies in reported GHG emissions could have arisen from methodological differences and hence a fair comparison is not possible.
